Defense industry - Rheinmetall supplies grenades to Ukraine
The Rheinmetall armaments group has received a major order worth 142 million euros for the supply of artillery ammunition to Ukraine. The order comprises a five-digit number of 155 millimeter calibre artillery shells. The customer is a NATO partner country, the company announced in Düsseldorf on Monday. It is the declared aim of this country to "effectively and permanently support Ukraine's defense campaign". The projectiles are to be manufactured by the subsidiary Rheinmetall Expal Munitions in Spain. They are to be delivered in 2025.
"The demand for artillery ammunition is currently very high," the company continued. This applies to the acute needs of Ukraine and the replenishment of the "largely empty" ammunition depots in Germany and other NATO and EU countries.
